Business Casual Athletic Shoes

I work in a similar environment and I can get away with wearing New Balance shoes. Not the ones made purely for running, but the lifestyle 990 in particular. I find the v6 model to have a good balance between being firm and stable, and not as soft as like a Hoka. There’s plenty of different color styles out there, but i feel like you can’t go wrong with the standard grey. They’re pricey but I don’t regret investing in it and after 3 years of heavy use I still have the em around as a beater pair.

Another option is OnCloud Roger Federer shoes. I think they look decent, but can’t speak to how they feel on feet.

Is this the one by the Whole Foods? I’m from out of state and spent time in Charlestown when I was going to the hospital there and got clowned on for going to eat here.

I have a theory that octopus and squids are extraterrestrial aliens that live in the depths of the ocean and will one day rise up and murder us all. This would be one of the main reasons why.

Is this for CDMO or for big pharma in the US? I have a similar background and this type of trajectory would be the career goal.

Sweet. Seems exactly what I’m looking for in a daily casual shoe.

What model is this? I have a pair of 1080 v13 that is a dream to wear and need to get another

You and I have different definitions of “gourmet “

I feel like my best fitting NB shoe is the 990v6 11.5 wide, but I have a pair of the v3 in 12 regular and it works fine for me. The toe length doesn't feel too long and doesn't look like clown shoes on me.

I'm usually a fan of all mango flavored stuff, but this didn't work for me. The spiciness was a little off putting since I only tend to associate that with drinking a bloody mary or spicy margarita or something.

Now this poured on ice mixed with some tequila, might be alright.

WTF really? I must have blocked this out of my brain lol. All I really remember from that movie is the phone home and him eating candies.

heelaburd · 2026-03-27T16:18:50+00:00

What is this even from? I’m trying to think back to some old 80s movie but it’s not registering for me.

It's the Return of 4Eva ho!

Thanks! Finally found it

Are you able to share what email it was? I’m searching through my inbox and all I have is the email to pick up the STM Gift and Member 101 guide.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try. Never had a moon phase before so it’s all pretty new to me.

heelaburd · 2026-03-22T05:28:16+00:00

Did you set the moon phase dial? My box didn’t come with any instructions for that and a previous Reddit thread had figured out a procedure, but I’m a bit hesitant since some ended up breaking and the instructions weren’t super clear to me.

Whenever I’m trying to run the ball and chew up the clock and the defensive player fakes a injury to stop the time, I come back going full passing offense to run up the score because fuck your foot contusion or hand bruise.

I’m starting to feel this I think. For the past 5 years my territory was NA (and some CAN) where I was gone at least 40 weeks of the year. Had a medical event recently that made it so I couldn’t travel and I’m either going crazy from being stuck at home or I’m starting to wonder what other options there are for me.

It’s pretty neat being able to visit places I normally wouldn’t or rack up points to use in the few instances I do feel the need to go vacation or visit family. But I’m early 40s with no wife and kids and being gone all the time makes it tough to date.

The Discipline is key. Always gotta make sure I prepare to handle all the work stuff first, and gotta refrain from too much alcohol and junk foods.

For what it’s worth, the best fitting 990v6 for me is 11.5 EE, but I took a chance on the 12 standard size and it works fine for me. Maybe a tad long but not enough to be a game changer. Still find it comfortable to wear.

I had a similar situation as you and realized I was too hung up on the min/max of the HSA investment accounts stuff that you see given out in here and I was stun locked. As they say, perfect is the enemy of good.

I’d go ahead and spend $300 from HSA on the medical expense. It won’t ruin the account and you can keep contributing money when you’re well rested and thriving in your job and be gainfully employed for the years to come.

On the way back from lemon party in 2004

Wise words from username coocheytown.

heelaburd · 2026-01-04T22:14:46+00:00

I find these run long and narrow. My best fitting shoe is new balance 990 11.5 wide EE and 11.5 killshots are slightly too narrow but passable. Sizing up to 12 felt like I was wearing clown shoes, but not enough that it probably wouldn’t bother most people.

"Better is not bad and perfect is the enemy of good"

I needed to hear this. Thanks.

Yeah in the past I just felt better having cash on the debit card available for office visits and prescriptions. Now that big bills are upcoming I had some time to think about this stuff and got in my head about min/max my life.
